Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

In a recent meeting, Adel Bakkar, the Director of the European Department at the Libyan Foreign Ministry, held discussions with French Senator Cédric Perrin, Chair of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, focusing on the establishment of a French consulate in Benghazi. This move marks a significant step towards enhancing Libya-France diplomatic ties.

The talks covered a wide range of bilateral issues, including political, economic, and trade relations, with the consulate’s establishment highlighting the mutual interest in deepening diplomatic engagement. Additionally, the upcoming Africa-Europe Conference in May, hosted by the Libyan Government, was discussed, showcasing Libya’s role in promoting dialogue between the continents.

Bakkar extended an invitation from Libyan Foreign Minister Abdulhadi Al-Hwaij to Perrin for a visit to Libya, aiming to engage further with Libyan government officials and members of the Libyan House of Representatives. This gesture aims to strengthen the collaborative relationship between the two countries.

Al-Hwaij, in interactions with the global media in Paris, expressed Libya’s stance on not serving as Europe’s maritime sentinel, calling for a partnership based on respect and equality. He also highlighted the challenges in Libya’s political landscape, including issues with the UN Special Envoy’s strategies and the Libyan Government’s marginalization.

The potential opening of a French consulate in Benghazi symbolizes a new phase in Libya-France relations, promising to enhance economic, cultural, and political connections. This initiative occurs as Libya seeks stability and unity, amid its complex political situation.

The discussions reflect a mutual desire to strengthen the partnership, focusing on economic collaboration and regional challenges. The establishment of a French presence in Benghazi would offer consular services, enhancing people-to-people and business relations. The Africa-Europe Conference also provides Libya with an opportunity to affirm its commitment to international dialogue and cooperation, underlining its mediating role between Africa and Europe.
